NEET 2020 may be held online

According to some reports, it is to be believed that the NEET 2020 (national eligibility cum entrance exam) will be conducted via computer based mode (online mode) since, the National Testing agency has successfully conducted the UGC NET 2018 test through online mode.

It is to be noted that it is not a new one as the NTA already had the plans of conducting the NEET 2019 in online mode but due to some reasons, it withdrew its plan and proceeded to conduct the NEET 2019 test in pen and paper mode. However, after the successful onset of UGC NET 2018 test, it seems that the NTA is decided to proceed with its previous plan of conducting the NEET test in computer based mode. The UGC NET 2018 is conducted with the participation of 7.50 lakh candidates in 300 different cities at around 600 exam centres. In JEE Main 2019 test, so far around 9.50 lakh candidates has been registered. Further, the JEE Main 2019 is also to be conducted in the online mode. Henceforth, the NTA is expected to conduct the NEET 2020 test via online mode. Even though, there is no official announcement regarding the mode of the test. However, the test is believed to be conducted in the online mode after the hope brought by the successful completion of UGC NET 2018.
